We were on her last month and had a great cruise. Loved the size, easy to get around. Would sail again...tomorrow if I could.

The back balcony dining areas are wonderful, great little getaway right in front of everybody.

Good stuff.... thanks for sharing. Hope the wallet turns up.

Was on the Fascination a couple weeks ago... hope your time is as good as ours was.

Relax and enjoy.

I love the virgin drinks, I wish Carnival had a drink package that included them like Princess. It was just a little more than the soda package and you got all of the virgin drinks you wanted.

So do I.

Bartender on the Fascination corrected me when I ordered a virgin kiss on the lips... it is a: "Innocent Kiss on the Lips"

We did it last week on the Fascination and it was truly one of my favorite experiences. Just amazing. I don't drink and my wife is only good for a glass maybe but if you drink the champagne and wine are flowing.

For some people it may not be a big deal but for this ol country meat and tater guy I have never seen food or knew that food could taste like that. Truly a memorable experience.

yep 5AM.

Last week I forgot to hang ours out, woke up about 2:30 and remembered. So I hung it out but forgot to set the alarm or tell my wife that room service was coming at 7:00. knock knock knock... knock knock knock... room service.... knock knock knock... finally my wife shakes me and ask did I order room service... uh yeah... sorry honey.:rolleyes:

both posters nailed it. We were on the Fascination last week. The rear dining balcony is awesome. Why more folks don't use it I don't know but we loved it.

The front area in front of the sport deck overlooking the bow was great also. Watched dozens of dolphins racing and dancing in front of the boat on our 1st sea day. Just magical.

We did the Chef's Table and while at first I was hesitant I must say it was incredible. I am a basic meat and tater guy so I didn't think my palate would be worthy but I agreed to anyway cause my wife wanted to.

It was AMAZING. An evening that we will never forget.

Have fun and enjoy your cruise. We found the Fascination to be great, it was a wonderful but all to short a week.

We were there last week and docked at 8:00 am. There wasn't much, if any line to get off . And the local vendors weren't even open yet so it made getting thru quick.

Have a great cruise!

we were on the Fascination last week, the 12th thru the 17th. Our cabin was E125 an Ocean View and we found it to be very satisfactory. The beds were set as a king and it gave us plenty of walkaround space. The 3 closets and 4 drawers were enough room to store our clothes. The bathroom was small but fine. I loved the location, about mid ship and just a few doors down from the stairs and elevator, or right down the hall to the main atrium.

Sorry the poster above got sick.

My main complaint: the whole trip went by way too quick.:rolleyes:

I am missing something here, what is the Chefs table?

THE CHEF'S TABLE

Treat your taste buds to the experience of a lifetime, culminating in a sumptuous multicourse dinner hosted by one of our master chefs. Your VIP experience starts with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres for a select group of 14, followed by a tour to see the galley in operation. The evening concludes with a mind-blowing full-service dinner of amazing appetizers, entrees and desserts not found on our regular dining menus.

Tip: Reserve early because this once-in-a-lifetime experience has limited seating. Reservations can be made at the ship’s Guest Services desk.

We were just there this past Tuesday. As stated above all passengers go thru a shaded, covered area with fans and misters then thru a security check bottleneck to board. We waited about 20 minutes or so.

The tenders run non stop all day.

Half Moon Cay is truly paradise.

Enjoy.

Just got back Thursday and must say we had a great time. Yes she is older and therefore a bit more experienced than a younger, newer one.

But that is ok.

:)

We did the Chef's Dinner on the Fascination this week and it was fantastic.

I am not a "foodie" but this was one of the best experiences I've ever had.

Was just there a couple days ago.

Maybe this will help

We are currently in E125 and our bed is a converted king.

Currently onboard the Fascination, our first Carnival cruise, on the way to Nassau. So far we have enjoyed it, crew is great, the food has been good and we have had fun and relaxed. Will let yall know more after a few days.

Now Tropical Storm Grace.

My grandmother name was Grace, had a aunt named Grace, my granddaughters name is Gracie, my favorite performer is Grace Potter.

This is one Grace I hope stays away.

We are leaving on her September 12th. It will be our first Carnival cruise.

I too have read all the negative reviews... but what the heck?

My wife and I are going to be off work, away from home, on a cruise ship, eating and relaxing, chilling on the beach a couple of days....

Can't wait.

Last October we were to cruise to the Eastern Caribbean aboard the Caribbean Princess but got rerouted by Hurricane Gonzalo. So we went to Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel. ... the weather was perfect.

Was very disappointed about missing St Maarten, St Thomas and Grand Turk but we ended up having a fantastic first voyage.
